and polling day blast i'm mortified. by. the welcome you're watching the weekly here in r.t. with me and three fan now it's been a traumatic few days for the u.s. city of boston to tear a blast struck at islam mark marathon on monday killing three including a child and injuring more than one hundred the attack was followed by an intense manhunt for two suspects through the city suburbs eventually saw one of the alleged bombers killed and the other wounded and taken into custody artes and the sea children now looks back at the bitter events of the past few decades. mayhem took place here at an area still cordoned off at a sporting event that attracted tens of thousands of participants and thousands of

spectators from all over the world two bombs went off just seconds apart from each other at the finishing line of the boston marathon the explosions were so strong that they sent debris flying onto rooftops ripping off people's limbs leaving three people dead and over a hundred and seventy five people injured despite all of the money the united states spends on security it was a surveillance camera of a department store that helped pinpoint the two brothers behind the tragedy several memorials like this one have been set up throughout the city of boston to remember the victims the three people who died including an eight year old boy and two young women a twenty nine and twenty three year old over a dozen victims remained in critical condition for several days many of them needing follow up surgeries despite having between the two suspects lived in an apartment on the third floor of this building in cam bridge now they came to the united states the true brothers of chechen origin back in two thousand and two the younger brother joe hart became a naturalized citizen on september eleventh last year the older brother had

a green card dreamt of joining the united states olympics boxing team to get a passport all of the people who knew them were shocked to find out that they're the suspects in the bombings but law enforcement officials are saying that they had indications from the russian government to look into the identity of the older brother to milan they did in fact bring him in for questioning back in two thousand and eleven to try to establish any possible links to extremists groups at this time the release the older brother and of course now following the days after the bombings at the finishing line of the boston marathon law enforcement yet again tried to stab any possible links the brothers might have had extremist groups after monday's bombings late on thursday afternoon the f.b.i. finally released photos of the two suspects the ended up coming out of their. fighting killing an mit officer hijacking a car releasing the person to whom that car belonged and got in a car chase with police the police officers said that the two brothers were

throwing explosive devices out of their car and shooting over a dozen police officers wounded as a result eventually the older brother twenty six year old to milan got out of the car to continue the shootout with the police officers the younger brother stayed in the car ended up running for his older brother getting away in the car which he eventually abandoned and was able to get away on foot in the meantime police officers captured to marilyn and took him to this hospital in boston suffering multiple injuries this is where he died shortly after one thirty am on friday morning and unprecedented manhunt for joe hart continued for over twenty eight hours involving thousands and thousands of federal and local law enforcement officers were currently in watertown just several minutes outside of boston now law enforcement officials have established a perimeter in this area going from door to door trying to locate just whereabouts

where they ended up with finding him was just a block away from the area they were searching he was hiding out in one of the houses in this area in a dry docked boat a local neighbor in the person living in this area saw a blood trail and led police to the area where just car was hiding now a helicopter all the officials was also able using heat signature technology to locate joe hart hiding out in this boat even though he was covering himself up now it's important to note. a two hour standoff and shootout between police and joe hart continued eventually we know that there was negotiating attempts because the officials were very interested in getting him alive eventually they were able to arrest him take him into custody following his arrest to hire was taken to. the same hospital where his brother died also suffering severe injuries he's undergoing medical treatment under heavy security and officials are saying that the legal

proceedings against him will begin as soon as he's able to communicate after a week filled with tragedy shock fear and a mass lockdown the city of boston has breathed out a sigh of relief but locals want to see justice and find out the motives behind the terror rocks that made so many question the illusion of safety they have been living under mr marty massachusetts. while most go awol and american authorities back in twenty eleven that one of the brothers could pose a threat to his alleged radical views and asked him to be investigated and the f.b.i. lead pro balls launch but find no sign of any dangerous activity according to the u.s. agency the parents of the suspected bombers claim their sons could have been set up by american security services also you went to the north caucuses city where the brothers family lives to find out more on their background. that middle and sad and naive and amateur boxer who dreamt of representing his adopted country the united

states he claimed to have no american friends but married a local woman katherine and they shared a daughter by contrast his younger brother john had a period well adjusted popular in high school and even won a college scholarship and yet sadly they were revealed as the main suspects in the boston marathon bombings their father was the first step bob to claim his two boys were set up i'm confident of my children's innocence and i'm not sure what have thought that he only god knows no one in the household ever owned any weapons i think my children may have been frightened their mothers to be duds shared her biggest suspicion telling r.c. their turf family was under constant after surveillance raising the question why her sons were not stopped if they were supposedly planning terrorism in our house nobody talked about the terrorism my son printed on me or what they got involved

in bitterly you know. i really do believe that. years ago he was called by a b i like fly by he knew that they knew what my thumb was doing they knew what action and what. we were going to how could it happen how could be they were conjoined we. never ever got this is not my two sons are in front of the als b i confirmed that in two thousand and eleven agents investigated time and alone but didn't find any terrorist activity domestic affording athletically chechen that sat night family first moved from kyrgyzstan to dagestan a republican russia's north caucasus the brothers stayed there for only a short while before moving to the united states aswell. in two thousand and two this is the house where the brothers' parents live but now there is no one here

it's have my family i voicing any contact with the media as they try to cope with their grief. neighbors here are in deep shock at the news in just believe that any of this happening to the top ny family i know the brothers very well from the childhood we used to live in chechnya together i was the neighbor then we moved here i know they couldn't have carried out the attack and they couldn't have been involved in it they spent most of their lives in the us studied the works that they didn't have any links with the hobbyists and other militants there are very few record slots from their stay in dagestan the youngest brother jihad on his space have the social network spent back to mansion at this school number one in my high school and none of those places where he used to study however here are very few people remember that saddam lives brothers. the family came to darkest on in september two thousand and one with the boys from the old style school then they

apparently managed to get papers to leave dark a stone they left in less than a year they didn't spend a long time here and they didn't grow up. in search of a new line and new ambitions indeed after a decade in the u.s. so hard became an american citizen last year but in that time something or someone made the top of my brothers seemingly turned against the nation we gave them asylum and then we state sponsored the most significant part of their lives by jinnah question artsy reporting from brushes that you stand republic it is alarming that extremist ideas are being rooted in the minds of bright young people around the world showing that terrorism has no borders that's according to peter's ally if from the eurasia democracy initiative. should the north caucasus link in this case be proven it tells us that global jihad the move to global jihadi movement really

knows no geographic economic or social boundaries. into the hearts and minds of young people such as what we saw in september eleventh attacks and what is being said now about these two brothers whether they were linked or not these these two young men were quite bright they got scholarships to attend prestigious universities and still have that is proving we have been brainwashed into committing such heinous crimes and moscow says it is ready to lend a helping hand in the fight against international terrorist cells agreeing to work closely with american security experts on the issue meanwhile it was the nine eleven attacks in the u.s. which heralded start of an era of tighter security measures some of which were severely criticized by human rights groups. terrorists don't have policies they just have sick minds but eat response to their he acts governments adopt

policies nine eleven was followed not just by two long wars but also by a series of changes in the us laws are sharing in an era where words liberty privacy due process have adopted many many footnotes the patriot act which gave sweeping powers to the government was branded in such a way as to say as a patriot you have to give up certain rights that had been previously guaranteed by the law among many provisions in the act it introduced roving wiretaps where you can be caught. in a phone sweep without a specific warrant the so-called library profession where the state can monitor your reading habits of any you have no connection to terrorism national security letters a tool used instead of warrants whereby the f.b.i. can spy on you when the service provider has to share your private information can't tell you about it provisions that require banks to report your financial activities to federal agents well civil rights advocates say the public sentiment of familiar argument i have nothing to hide so we shouldn't concern me over the

years it has contributed to the erosion of rights many of the patriot act provisions have been passed and repassed over and over again and they still stand and then the new national defense authorization act contains a provision which allows for indefinite detention without due process at the discretion of the president the statute has no temporal or geographic limitations and can be used by future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield experts say with laws like this once they're adopted they're very difficult to reverse as far as u.s. actions overseas part of the nation's response to terror policies like torture or drone strikes which target terrorist suspects but also kill civilians overseas terrorism draws strength from the adoption of extra legal violence as a counter measure but it's yet unclear how much security people draw from giving up their rights in washington i'm going to. believe that betting on

technology to keep people safe is extremely risky. there's a huge escalation in security and fear and in police presence i mean there are there's was a horrific scene in boston but the response will be incredibly disproportionate we will see an intense upsurge in fear and even indian police and military presence this illusion that technology is going to save us that feeling our skies with drones and covering our buildings with surveillance cameras and treating every airport airline passenger as a potential terrorist is going to save us is to use an incredible delusion we have seen a predictable and predicted increase in terrorism throughout the course of the global war on the globe or the global war on terror as they call it you cannot fight a war against a tactic and not kill people. and eliminate. violence

by other people in fact you have just the opposite effect as top u.s. military commanders have confessed and it has taken very little time for a new measure to appear highly controversial cyber security bill finally get from the ok to congress on the way the fan frustration after the second bombings in boston. compounding the tragedy in boston this way course i saw the u.s. hit with one of its worst industrial disasters in decades even fifteen dead and more than one hundred injured and dozens still missing an explosion at a texas fertilizer plant was cited powerful it registered as a small earthquake and could be heard more than one hundred kilometers away. well you know i think. you know the resulting explosion wiped out in time neighborhoods of the small town of west some seventy five hives and apartments

were damaged as well as nearby a nearby retirement home and school in the immediate aftermath noches few heavy over the area while far as it could be seen burning for miles around a spokesman for the texan department of public safety gave his assessment of the tragedy. i could tell you i was there i walked through the blast area are search some houses earlier tonight massive just like iraq just like the murray building in oklahoma city. exploded so you can imagine what kind of damage we're looking out there. for days on the flooding zoned and yet there are reports that ruptured chemical tanks at the plant tonight are leaking toxins and sparking small farm is the area it's also being quarantined with locals relocated rescuers search for missing people under the dead bridge it's also a marriage that there may have been serious safety at the plant perhaps encouraged

by decades of negligence by inspectors investigative journalist david lindorff says many other u.s. communities may also be at risk. over and over companies get cited for not having these risk plans in place and they get a small fine and then they don't do anything you know the they maybe go through the motions of having the risk plan but the reality is. it makes absolutely no sense to even have a plant like this in a town but all over especially in the west where you've got fertilizer plants oil refineries and so on they're right in the middle of these small towns with houses all around them and schools and nursing homes and the problem is that in the united states the entire regulatory apparatus that oversees these kinds of safety issues has been captured by industry by corporations through their control of the

politicians through their campaign contributions it's really not a lesson for the authorities it's a lesson for the american people that we've allowed our country to be taken over by corporate interests and professor christopher busby from the european committee on right luncheon whisks who is a chemist himself says that this will behind the supply. and hundreds of monia on its own would not be able to produce the kind of devastation that we hear is occurring over there it seems much more likely to me that like the other mono nitrate plant explosions in history particularly the one in one hundred twenty one in germany and there was one also in texas in one hundred forty seven is somehow the ammonium nitrate so the fertilizer material that was produced by the stronger exploded i don't think that this was caused by an ammonia by an harder simonyi ammonia tank exploding although probably that would have exploded. when the main explosion took place but of course ammonia itself is very toxic it's it's it's

a respected tree irritant and it would cause lots of serious response to treat drug problems but then it cause it's also produced when ammonium nitrate itself is heated up so if you heat ammonia nitrate to about three hundred fifty degrees it dissociates into ammonia and nitrite acid and so these two things would be quite toxic fumes or anybody inhaling them what eyewitness account stories from mazing and expert comments are all available at our website at www dot com there you can also watch more videos of the aftermath of the blast and find out what the danger is. hugo chavez's campaign successor is now officially at the head of the world's most oil rich nation having been inaugurated as the president of venezuela but the going was far from smooth and they close majority with seven protesters killed in clashes with police this week thousands of supporters of opposition candidate. took to the streets around the country

demanding a total vote we can't police and national guard units responded with a gas and plastic police the country's top electoral body did finally great caution ordered the prelate scorning off whole planned protests dr william robinson professor of sociology at the university of california says there may be an ongoing effort to destabilize the situation. this is not a new tactic on the part of washington another type of the. not a new tactic on the part of the new of the venezuelan opposition and generally the far right in latin america which aligns with washington the idea is you have an all out these devils and this civilization campaign this is simply another tactic within that campaign there's been diplomatic isolation economic sabotage our military activity the attempted coup d'etat in two thousand and two massive us financing for the internal opposition including for property rights and for the organizations that he represents and so we see this very often when there's all the

action which is very close and when the united states wants to get rid of a government in this case that would do the job is with little governments around an election it will launch violence and trying create chaos and instability and the united states will not recognize the results and this is the at least of this is an incredible the focus is on the part of u.s. foreign policy because mexico just had elections in which there was less of a fool because mexico's a close ally of the united states is the u.s. immediately recognizes the results only lose the joy just by opposition because for the result is no moral authority whatsoever to talk about the going to sort of them elections. but despite agreeing to a partial view. the electoral commission in venezuela says the jurisdiction is irreversible the new president himself has sworn to continue the revolution begun by chavez and to address his country men's more immediate concerns latin scholar. told us about some of the challenges facing the new president. i think it tells us

that there are real problems in venezuela and that model will have a very short period in which he has to begin to address these issues or will have will have a confronting a crisis within his own party and among his own supporters he has to address head on the question of prying the question of inflation the question of infrastructure eliezer real issues that affect real venezuelans and although they felt the pain for a job is a significant number also now begin to criticize and to see them need to actually carry through and implement change i think we're going to see a continuation of venezuelans foreign policy i think there's a difference between criticizing us and being anti american i think will see a promotion of latin american policy the promotion of a multi-polar world that is the u.s. is not the dominant issue on their agenda they have relations with russia with china with europe with that with latin american countries and will see i think a continuity within that that's been part of the strength promoted by the chinese

administration and my little should recall was the foreign minister in charge of china's his foreign policy so i very much see continuity during this period also coming up in the next few minutes guantanamo bay officials recognize detainees as being on hunger strike the number is up to seventy seven over the past few days still fewer and what the inmates lawyers claim the u.s. state department says is still committed to closing the prison while the hunger strike is still times that. the u.s. commits to doubling its non-lethal aid to syrian rebels even as the opposition codes for military strikes on government positions coming up. bahrain's controversial formula one race is set to start as planned on sunday despite protests from the opposition desperately trying to draw attention to human rights abuses in the gulf kingdom tens of thousands of people have been venting their anger saying the morning. in the event of paper over the crackdown on

probably from activists bahrain's protest movement has been accusing the government of violating freedom of speech family opposition needed to be a lot of job is the most prominent figure to stay in prison as many believe he was thrown behind bars just for tweeting against the rivers artie's party boy a report on his struggle. not long before his imprisonment bahrain's most famous human rights campaigner was in london talking to another prominent activist and whistleblower julian a saunders so we came here to london's ecuadorian embassy which the wiki leaks founder has been calling home for some ten months now in order to have a chat about the man at the forefront of bahrain's pro-democracy struggle i began by asking the fans why he was so keen to invite me to be over a job for an interview on his exclusive r.t. show braid has nine hundred thousand people. has one hundred fifty thousand twitter followers cards predominantly all the population are. sincere

the rest of a number of other activists in the brain screen. but not your regular. person brings you right what's the most prominent voice for the brain it's pretty speaking to julian assange over job was unequivocal about his determination to fight for democracy in bahrain if you have a goal and if you believe. just tools you'll recall. you will. do. difficulties and you know. the changes that you are fighting for it's been good for hundreds it's not an easy thing to change to achieve those changes you have to be willing to pay a price and my that price might be you would like for to be over a job that price. it's become is freedom three months off of that interview was

that he was sentenced to three years behind bars but according to a staunch keeping him in prison under the current charges he's going to be increasingly difficult for the bahraini government. cartoonish form of despotism where he's been sentenced to three years imprisonment for a number of tweets relation to your personal stories to the prime minister and so on i mean as well as womanizing part is he even when he was imprisoned previously released he did not resign only to the same standard criticizing you for it's hard for the people with that much courage to come. you can't be cowards and so i think it's long term prospects accorded good amnesty international have labeled him a prisoner of conscience but unless the international community wakes up to abuses in bahrain there's little hope that maybe over jobs going to be tasting freedom any time soon. see london's ecuadorian embassy. and activists

mohamed al sufi says protestors are furious because the bahraini government is working on its international image before solving problems at home. this government doesn't do their role like the grand prix this is they were and have been all. this systematic torture and they have on this discrimination against people relate to the majority of the people so this is really interesting sanctions that should not be awarded events that the grand prix or any other and they talk about using it to build bridges what's happening now is not building bridges what's happening was bringing doused misery this much to prosperity we're now living again and then secure this region just because of the ground. we want to. make mistakes by doing more mistakes and imprisoning peaceful activists like we are

after which it will only get the situation worse i'm sorry. monarchy fueling flames of all the rest of us to hold position gridlocked no organization was involved with the right to be seen to be credible. when bill roache or it's a formula for controversy burning rubber on the streets of. my ship weekend on are . over fifty percent of eligible iraqi voters have turned out to cast their votes in the first provincial elections since the us troops withdraw the vote was marred by violence with bombs and mortar shells exploding the several polling stations injuring four people the election caps several weeks of turbulent campaigning with over a dozen candidates assassinated i do several thousand running for various govern or its two provinces postpone the vote altogether citing a lack of security eliminate results are expected within several days and even

elected the thora teams will have to deal with a country facing deep divisions along sectarian and ethnic lines driven even deeper by contesting claims to its vast oil reserves r.t.c. catherine often has more on the. they call them those who face death gong once guerrilla rebels fighting saddam for an independent kurdistan now an officially sanctioned force in iraq's semi autonomous kurdish region the peshmerga and the iraqi troops are supposed to be on the same side after all they're citizens of one country but for more than a year now here in northern iraq the two armies have been pitted against each other their weapons locked and loaded these peshmerga soldiers are on alert twenty four hours a day they're guarding the kurdish front line of the so-called disputed territory now no iraq the soldiers are allowed beyond this point if either army advances if

there's even a single misfire it could spark a new war. it's a war the kashmir gong is ready for its truck. we have enough forces in place and enough firepower for the peshmerga to defend against a nice surprise is it for attacks of course we will retaliate. at the heart of the disputed territory is a coup which both baghdad and the kurds say belongs to them all the program could cook. because like a small version of iraq that sunni shia christians arabs and kurds it's this because. of course the other reason is kook's oil. the oil fires illustrate the main reason that this land is so hotly contested kirkuk is sitting on an estimated ten billion barrels of oil and is responsible for a large chunk of iraq's current output that's enough to sustain an independent state should the kurds get their way and annex this disputed territory it's also

enough to bankrupt iraq if the oil revenue is lost. that revenue makes up ninety five percent of iraq's annual budget of more than one hundred billion dollars and there's a lot more money at stake the international energy agency says. iraq could export a staggering five trillion dollars worth of oil over the next two decades the kurds and the central government are supposed to share these profits but they haven't been able to sort out how. to boil and guys it is all iraqi people. having to buy coals to sion but oh no there is no we'll solve acceptable and standing between all iraqis on the revenue sharing this is the key problem. will has transformed kurdistan into a boom town in the capital overbill construction projects dot the landscape there are luxury malls and foreign investors are flocking here the region looks and feels

like a different country and for the kurds that may be the ultimate goal but for now this is one iraq divided into two. you have facial between. iraqi military and. when you have a situation like this you cause tension and if something goes wrong it can lead to . actual fight between the two sides. blood for oil it's a scenario that no one in iraq wants to see but the army's remain in place each side carefully watching the other from kurd versus arab iraqi versus iraqi lucy catherine of r t reporting from the disputed territories in iraq. lead this growing corrie so my snowing billion euros in ongoing bailout funds to stave off bankruptcy but at the cost of thousands of public sector jobs to be slashed by the end of this year even as unemployment skyrockets that story just ahead.

welcome back the u.s. . of representatives has passed the culture of the cyber information sharing and protection act designed to fight terrorism in the digital world the legislature to . a massive cried that he severely jeopardizes people's privacy and explains. the white house actually said that we will recommend the president veto this legislation to sever intelligence and for sharing of protection act it's come under a lot of criticism by its opponents because they say that it does more than what the authors say it does now the authors of cispa they say that this bill will lead to businesses private companies google facebook and many internet provider these companies will be encouraged to share information with the federal government that

will be used to track down and monitor and curb cyber attacks aimed at the united states computers critics say that it puts too much of americans privacy at risk and that the right safeguards aren't there so in turn people would be separate facing their privacy for a little bit of security when the bill was introduced back in february i believe one of the areas for the second time representative or one of the authors of the bill he said you know we can't have another nine eleven we can't have another terrorist attack it but if we do we will pass any law that needs to happen sure enough just another congressman who actually got up and said well look what happened in boston these were bombs sure they weren't digital bombs but the next ones will be digital bombs so we need to come together for the sake of national security and do something and that's exactly why a lot of people have problems with this bill because the people who are touting it the people who are writing it are people that don't really understand the cyber security concerns and there's a lot of concern over who is coming up with this bill who is supporting it saying that you know boston would be reason enough to pass a cyber security bill is laughable to many people. knight a has unofficial eos the

russian government for advice on how to get itself out of the conflict of a get off afghanistan calling on its experience of pulling troops out of the country in one thing eighty nine that is on call post so that a massive blast in a moscow apartment leaves three people dead and several injured as it blows a balcony off the building damaging cars go online the photos of the devastation. the u.s. ratcheted up the pressure on assad's regime this week announcing it will double its non-lethal aid to syrian rebels to more than one hundred and twenty million dollars this off the defense secretary chuck hagel announced two hundred troops will be deployed in neighboring jordan he said the force including logistical specialist and operational plan is the core of a possible large contingent to be sent to the area if chemical weapons in syria are

under threat dr cohen hallinan from foreign policy in focus things washington's support for the opposition leaves no room for negotiation u.s. has talked about the fact they want to diplomatic resolution but the diplomatic resolute resolution is regime change so by supporting the infiltration of insurgents from saudi arabia from turkey from from oman from from libya essentially of iraq as was done in afghanistan in the one nine hundred eighty s. by doing that you essentially make it a life or death struggle with the assad regime and so i think by putting these troops here i think what you're doing is that you are short of reinforcing the insurgency and you're taking very clear sides in this in the civil war inside syria am i think it moves it further from the get the latter diplomatic solution. seventy

seven guantanamo detainees and i officially acknowledged to be on hunger strike that's an increase of twenty five within the past few days alone however the inmates lawyers believe the real number is still higher with most of the hundred sixty six prisoners taking part in the strike to more people are being fully sped bringing the total to seventeen five have been hospitalized other than that however it's unclear what the us authorities are planning to do about the hunger strike when r.t. when asked about the state of affairs in guantanamo a state department representative to the official line that president obama stays committed to closing the facility meanwhile the situation is edging towards catastrophic says the tenant colonel barry when god and the to one of the prisoners . my client can dari had lost about one third of his body weight he now when he stands i can put my hands around his waist that's how much weight he

has lost and i'm here to tell you the situation in one town i'm obey is becoming a humanitarian catastrophe these men have been there for eleven and a half years ninety five percent of them ninety five percent of them have no allegations let alone have a trial an opportunity to defend themselves i think that what we need is some leadership here from washington we have the administration on one hand saying we want to close guantanamo bay but then in two thousand and ten saying that indefinite detention is the way forward if two americans were captured would we then argue that those men can be held until our war on the physical emotion of terror ends would that be the u.s. position i think not and it's time to analyze the situation. and battled greece unlock the next installment of its bailout from international lenders this week almost nine billion euros worth of loans but in return it's had to agree to cut four thousand public sector jobs by the end of the year a massive cash injection keeps greece's burgling economy on life support until the

next tranche of the ongoing bailout expected next month as tom barton reports the money might still be coming in but the country's industrial backbone is crumbling. cobwebs outside rain falls on the still and silent pits attackers plastic piping from tree infested lawn icky moving grease inside the machines have been unused since banks stopped investing and the owner of your boss puts attackers fled in two thousand and ten one of his workers also be old cross did meet here just wants up to that he and ninety five other staff owed seven million euro in wages at the after short talk i had to force myself to leave so i wouldn't hurt him workers see that they are being made to bear the cost of greece's economic woes this is at the store. and of course the. pain is.

very unequal across industrial northern greece the story is repeated this fertilizer factory used to be a center of northern greek industry nowadays though by economics feral fowl it's a ghost factory and the only fertilizer coming in here is imported from elsewhere in europe it produced specialised fertilizers until one day the workers were called together and told by the owners that the know how for their products had been sold off and that operations would be stopped they are all. it's criminal but a profitable industry was shut down till an industry that produced high quality material with the new man workers now see the cruel irony that since the factories closing fertilizer prices have tripled but it's a wider fear that one skilled workforce is a laid off it's all too hard to bring them back. in the path of those who have this the unemployment rate here is thirty percent or by the years and it could be over

thirty eight with no fish and policy the situation is out of control yes he said picking them up the court workers across northern greece are desperate desperate to keep their jobs to get back into jobs and to be paid for their work it doesn't help ease their concerns when they're in positions like your boss's been unemployed for three years and he's off skiing in switzerland tom martin. you're watching out a stay with us for our exclusive interview with the leader of france's national front party. well. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've gone to the future and covered.

we are facing a lot of problems. because no what operating schools. minutes when you feel part. of the local what's national broadband is a law in the local needs you want to go i mean it's the l.n.g. motion will be used. you've just done for my prop artist i was fights about i must fight. all fights. right.

today we're joined by murray independent she is the leader of the french political party the national front and she came in third in the two thousand and twelve presidential elections in france getting about eighteen percent of the vote which is slightly higher than what was expected thank you very much mr bennett for joining us today and my first question is we're looking at seeing in europe a rise in that nationalism in the rise in a pro independence movements those sentiments of wanting more sovereignty for their countries but do you think that this is a temporary trend because analysts are saying this is just a reaction to political parties that are currently in power and a reaction to a bad economy across europe to do you think that as a pendulum it could well move away from the groups like the front and back to the other side of the political spectrum. to. now i don't think so a tourist i think that first and foremost if there is a rejection of the u.s. union and its policies you have been people are realizing that the european union

is an empire. that is in fact the straw in that region and doesn't protect them from economic social or migratory difficulty and i think that the increase in patch it is to managing a country's own affairs to control of the border is whether it's a human capital a product is a revised i think what we're seeing is the brussels very falling down it's crumbling that is to say that the european union and its model has reached an end it's a destruction that it's not right now but will probably accelerate well do we need to look at what's been happening in bulgaria where there has been a revolution and where the government crowd as well as the parliament within ten days also need to see the results in italy where within two years the us skeptics have become a majority and i believe that many other people are in the president rejected the policies behind these policies is ideology ryssdal to free trade immigration globalization that is making us open our doors and windows to all the products in

the world. to a knock at the immigration lawyer speaking about the e.u. the institution's authorities have been a criticised for lacking democratic legitimacy but now we see that the next to e.u. commission president after just a month will there also he's going to be elected do you think this is a real move towards democracy the e.u. is are going to obviously not this is all fake this is to make the people believe that there is more democracy that in fact we see what's happening at the european parliament it's supposed to be democratic but it's not at all representative of what the people of the european union think about the socialist party as well as the european right hand in hand and said they voted in favor of ninety seven percent of e.u. directives and today there is a very strong position of people who reject the model and these people are not represented by the european parliament so i think that elect.
